Biographical Notes
W. Dean Edwards was born in La Junta, Colorado, in 1927. He was first introduced to
square dancing in 1939 through Acacia Park community dances in Colorado Springs,
Colorado. From 1946 to 1947, Edwards was a member of the Pikes Peak Square Dancers, an
exhibition dance group organized by Bob Cook. He began calling his first square dances
in the late 1940s and went on to win the Colorado State Champion Square Dance caller
contest each year from 1951-1955. In the late 1940s, he began organizing and directing
the activities of the traditional square dance group, the Fun Finders, which he and his
wife Peggy headed for more than forty years.
Scope and Content
The collection includes manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings, and videotapes which
document the activities from 1946 to 2002 of a traditional American square and contra
dance group, the Fun Finders, from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Fun Finders was organized
as an exhibition square dance group by W. Dean Edwards, who directed the group from the
1940s through the 1980s with his wife Peggy Edwards. Sound and video recordings of
square dance calling and instructional videos for square and contra dancing are
included.
First organized by W. Dean Edwards in the late 1940s as an exhibition square dance
group, the Fun Finders, and its orchestra, the Hoedown-Aires, quickly grew and provided
a venue for hundreds of recreational folk dancers in the Colorado Springs community.
This collection documents Fun Finders callers and members, as well as recreational
dances from the early 1940s and the expansion of the group’s activities beginning in the
mid 1950s. Notable dances and activities are organized by event, including participation
in choreographing and calling the square dance scenes for the 1978 film, Comes a Horseman (starring Jane Fonda, James Caan, and Jason
Robards); dance programming at the Colorado Deaf and Blind School; exhibition dance
programming; and a retrospective exhibit of the Fun Finders at the Colorado Springs
Pioneers Museum in 2001.
Audio recordings in the collection include eight programs from the Fun Finders Square
Dance television show, which aired for three years on the local CBS and NBC affiliated
television stations KKTV and KRDO respectively during the 1950s; five duplicate
recordings used in the Fun Finders Instructional and Historical Videos; and thirteen
commercial recordings of square dance and contra music.
Graphic images in the collection include photographic images from all of the
recreational, instructional, and special programming events, including photo images of
dance partners and callers. Events #34 and #44, which would have been found in folders
41 and 53, were not submitted with the collection.
Video recordings include one 6-video set, Fun Finders Instructional and Historical
Videos, produced by Dean and his wife Peggy Edwards in the late 1980s and early 1990s as
a collaboration between the Fun Finders and the Colorado Springs 11th School District.
Also included are recordings of square dance events in Bancroft and Acacia Park in the
late 1980s and 7-Up promotional commercials, from the 1960s in Colorado Springs, one of
which features square dancing with W. Dean Edwards as the caller.
